Question: Hi , My son is 2 years 10 months old, and is scheduled for a colonoscopy this week. He has suffered with constipation since he was only months old. he has spent over a year on laxatives until i changed hims diet over to goats milk (he still drinks atleast 3 bottles a day). His stools became normal for about three months. Then i changed his diet to more solid foods and his stools became harder on occassions once again. At the end of May , his stool was covered in fresh red blood, then a month after i saw blood again. This time, he was sick and his stools started to soften, when i looked in the bowel there was fresh blood splurted over the toilet and it looked like a clot at the end of one stool. mid july i saw fresh blood again when i wiped his bottom. Should I go through with the procedure. I am really worried about the anasthetic and putting him through the whole thing when i am thinking it could most likely be a fissure.

Thanks again. One last question, he has a blocked nose and i am giving him decongestant spray plus rhinathiol red medicine which helpd break down the mucus. His surgery is scheduled for Thursday, can I continue with his medicines for the next few days.
